Powertrain Options
Under the hood, the Tata Aeris offers two robust powertrain options:
- Petrol Engine: A 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine delivers 86hp of power and 113 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) gearbox.
- CNG Option: The twin-cylinder i-CNG setup generates 76hp of power and 96.5 Nm of torque. It is available with both manual and automatic transmission options.
For practicality, the Aeris offers a boot space of 419 litres for the petrol variants, while the innovative twin-cylinder i-CNG setup still manages to provide a respectable 227-litre boot, making it one of the largest for a CNG sedan in its segment.
Safety Standards
Safety remains a paramount concern for Tata Motors, and the Aeris reflects this commitment with a comprehensive suite of features. The compact sedan comes standard with 6 airbags across all variants, ensuring enhanced occupant protection. Other crucial safety features include an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), a 360-degree camera with a built-in dashcam/multiview recorder, and Hill Hold Control, providing confidence and control on varied terrains.
Bookings and Deliveries
Prospective buyers can place their bookings for the Tata Aeris through Tata Motors' authorized dealerships across India or via the CarDekho platform. Deliveries for the new compact sedan are set to commence from October 11, ensuring customers can get their hands on their new Aeris just in time for the festive season. Speaking at the launch, Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director & CEO, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., emphasised the enduring appeal of sedans for customers who value comfort, space, driving dynamics, and practicality.
